Real World Case Studies
These are not just ideas — these are real savings delivered on real projects.
Challenge: Traditional pedestal paver roof systems were too costly.
Solution: Replaced with Dex-O-Tex walkable roof system — eliminated pedestal pavers and TPO membranes.
Outcome: Saved $15–$20 per sq.ft., simplified installation, and maintained durability.
Challenge: Fiberglass planters cost over $500/unit.
Solution: Switched to waterproofed wood-framed planters with stucco finish.
Outcome: Cost reduced from $160,000 to $24,000 — saving $135,000+ without compromising quality
Challenge: Mini-split systems added ducting complexity and higher cost.
Solution: Swapped with PTAC units — simpler, ductless HVAC solution.
Outcome: Saved approx. $3,000 per unit, plus easier long-term maintenance.
Challenge: Tiled showers were labor-heavy and expensive.
Solution: Installed Fibercare bathtubs with wall surrounds.
Outcome: $1,400+ saved per bathroom, while maintaining a high-end look and durability.
